perf trace: Beautify sched_[gs]et_attr return value

Both return errno, show the string associated then.

More work needed to capture the sched_attr arg to beautify it in turn,
probably using BPF.

Before:

0.210 ( 0.001 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffc684f02b0) = -22

After the patch, for this sched_attr, all other parms are zero, so not
shown:

struct sched_attr attr = {
.size = sizeof(attr),
.sched_policy = SCHED_DEADLINE,
.sched_runtime = 10 * USECS_PER_SEC,
.sched_period = 30 * USECS_PER_SEC,
.sched_deadline = attr.sched_period,
};

0.321 ( 0.002 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffc44116da0) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument

[root@jouet c]# perf trace -e sched_setattr ./sched_deadline
Couldn't negotiate deadline: Invalid argument
0.229 ( 0.003 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffd8dcd8df0) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
[root@jouet c]#

Now to figure out the reason for this EINVAL.
